THE VALDOSTA Til
NINE YEARS OF PLENTY.
Th» United States the Mott Blest of
All Countries.
' The seven /ear* of great plenty in
Egypt, when Joseph was prime Min
ister to King Pharoah, has been out
done In fhe United Sta‘es. Chief Sta
tistical Clark, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, was quot
ed as saying that for eight years the
'American farmer has enjoyed unpre
cedented prosperity, and now the
ninth promising harvest la practical
ly 1 ' assured.
the agricultural products for the
present year, exclusive of cattle,
sheep, swine rod fowls, are estimated
at the department of agriculture at
3? non non non
j $1,000,000,000. -
Mr. Clark further said that never
in the history of th« United State*
haye there been nine such years—
years of blg-yleld and big prloes, /
j And there Is not yet the slightest
sign that these nine plenteous years
are to be followed;by even one year
of dearth, such as for seven years
was In all the land of Egypt, follow
ing the seven bountiful years.
In every respect, our country "it the,
most blest In all the world, and If 'we
are not, we ought to be the most vir
tuous and happiest people. There
can be no permanent hard tltne* In
this country while bur farm* are ; an.
anally pirodnc'ng $8,000,000,000 worth
of grain, hay, fruits, tubers, roots and
other vegetables. ' -

EXPECTED.
fie!uro of Good Times Promises to
The Railroads are Rushing Repairs
and sr e Trying to get all bad Order
Cars Ready for Use—Large De
crease la 8hown In the Number of
Idle Care.
Lumber shippers north and south
are beginning to fear serious difficult
ty In securing cars for the lumber
movement which is certain to cbihe'
during the fall months, Letters re
ceived from the various mill points- of a now anesthetio* known a* novo-
Indicate that when the grain move
ment begins there would be serious
difficulty In securing sufficient cars
tp handle the usual heavy lumber
movement expected during the fall
and winter months.
Tie last report of the car efficiency
committee of the American Railway
Association states that from 3hop re
ports received from nearly all rail
roads In the United States the num
ber of bad order cars In the country
has Increased 2.1 per cent In the last
two weeks. The fact that so many
cars have been checked as In bad or
der In this abort period of time would
strongly Indicate that the railroads
during the last six or eight months
have adopted the policy of using
car until It was practically ready to
fall to pieces and then sidetracking
It Instead of sending It to the shops
to be repaired.
The railroads of the country Anally
seem to he aroused to the gravity of
the situation, and In some lnstences
ft la admitted a serious car shortage
Is Inevitable this fall. .
The resumption of number traffic
in the west following the decision of
the Inter State Commerce Commls-
elon wilt probably absorb a large
proportion of the Idle cart ht Tlrogon,
Idaho, Washington and California.
In the north and eastern states the
surplus of Idle cars has Increased
over 3,000 during the last three
weeks, but the lumber lndus’ry will
not he affected to any great extent
by this Increase, as practically all
those car* wjll.be held on their own
line* for handling Import traffic west
ward.
In Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Ar
kansas and Oklahoma there hat been
an Increase of about 2,000 cars
nse, but a greater number than this
will be needed to handle the grain
business, and as a number of states
In this group are heavy producers of
lumber a scarcity of cars can be look
ed for In the fall. The number of Idle
cars for th; northern territory, west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and In southern Canada ter
ritory haa been unusually large, but
considerable difficulty Is anticipated
ta handling the large lumber move
ment from those sections after the
railroads begin to handle the crops.
The prevailing Impression seems
to be that the railroads have delayed
their work too long and that as a
result they will be confronted with
serious difficulty In handllrg lumber
shipments next fall and winter. Prac
tically all railroad shops are working
full time In some Instances day and
night, repairing cars, but after the
long period during which cars have
been allowed to deteriorate It will
be practically Impossible for the rail
roads to get enough cars In working
order to handle the business offered
them during the next few months.
According to the fortnightly bulle
tin of the American Railway Associ
ation, the total number of surplus
cars In the United States and Can
ada July 8 was 303,560, a decrease
of 9,738 cars In the last two weeks
preceding that date.
A NEW ANESTHETIC. •
Marita of Novocain* Set Forth by a
Faria Physician.
The surgeons of the middle ages
amputated legs and arms with red-
hot knives, aud thou poured boiling
oil over the bleeding stump. When
It Is remembered that the patient
waa in complete control of his tenses
at the time of the operation, the
agony he was forced to endure can
be readily comprehended. But the
science of surgery hss steadily ad
vanced since that date, and during
this period of progress the surgeons
have become more and more humane.
Ether and chloroform are giving
place to more subtle anesthetics, at
least where they would be more or
lest dangerous to the general hedlth
of the patient under treatment.
In a report by Professor Reclua In
paper presented by Mr. Couteand
at the July meeting of the French
Academy of Medicine the advantages
calne, were positively affirmed. The
anesthetio known as stovaine has of
late been superseding cocaine,
much lest toxic. Two thousand oper
ations have been performed with It
by Doctor Reclus and hla students
without a single accident But novo
cains has been found to work even
better, as It la much less poisonous
than either cocaine or stovaine.
It may even be employed, accord
ing to Doctor Reclus, without any
danger; In which view he confirms a
previous report made to the Academy
by Doctor Reynler. The injection of
anesthetics round the spinal column
Is considered by Doctor Reclus, who
Insists upon the benefits of local an
esthetics, which permits the suppres
sion of chloroform In cases of hernia
or .certain laparotomies. In these
maladies general anesthetics might
be dangerous to the patient.
